In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

this is bad. social media has been a tool of surveillance for a long time, but this is next level.
NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...
ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team
Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

This is heartening. The Israeli Navy is actually quite small, at one point outnumbered by the number of Sumud ships (tho ofc Israeli has seemingly endless US-supplied air power). Carry on, Mikeno!
Looks like the Mikeno (one of the ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing to Gaza) might actually make it.
Roughly half the ships have been intercepted by the Israeli military, but the rest are continuing toward Gaza. globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

Few people actually read and STUDY Black women intellectual's work or take it seriously. I believe if they did, their work would be much better.
The conversations about love, relationships, ABUNDANCE etc... are all theorized in Black feminist scholarship.

Carney is going to so severely shift the economy further into the private sector. He’s signalled massive cuts to everything but resource extraction and the military. This is a conservative government.

Dividing protestors into "good" and "bad" is what the state wants us to do. Rowdy and peaceful protestors learning how to coexist and develop strategies that dovetail with one another is what threatens power.

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.
This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.
The president exists in a dystopian fantasy world with no connection to reality

Imagine publicly devoting your life to the kind of selfless bravery most humans could not fathom & having people even in your ideological cohort disrespect you constantly for one reason or the other. We simply do not treat each other well & that is part of why we are so susceptible to fascism.

And not for nothing, as much shit as people right, left, and center have talked about Greta Thunberg, she has literally devoted her entire life to being about that action. Seriously, put some respect on that young woman's name.

Is it fucked up that threatening lives of people from mostly European countries is more likely to get results than those of the people of Gaza themselves? Of course it is. But this is the world we live in, and there is an especially poetic justice to it, considering how all this started.

Everyone on the Freedom Flotilla knew *exactly* who they were dealing with and the most likely outcome of their actions. They knew there was a greater than 50% chance they would not survive, and they did it anyway.
It was a sacrifice of perhaps their lives to force international action. Damn.
